Gallagher To Discuss Operational Intelligence and Its Role in Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Safety, NAS Integration

Reston, VA (PRWEB)September 06, 2016

WHAT:
InterDrone: The International Drone Conference and Exposition 2016 is a three-day event, Sept. 7-9, 2016, that will bring together the flyers, buyers and builders of commercial drones for an exhibition, conferences and networking events. The Sept. 9 panel discussion, “Integrating Drones into Our National Airspace,” will address the possibility and reality of urban integration of commercial drone operations and will feature executives from companies that are spearheading unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) integration into the National Airspace (NAS).

WHO:
Kevin Gallagher is the president and CEO of Simulyze, Inc. With more than 30 years of experience in systems engineering, operational support and situational awareness, Kevin is expert in how operational intelligence can be leveraged in commercial UAS operations as a key tool for safely integrating UAS into the NAS and helping pilots make smarter, better informed decisions.

In April, Simulyze’s Mission Insight application was successfully deployed in support of NASA’s Technical Capability Level 1 UAS testing, the first nationwide test of air traffic management for drones. Kevin and his Simulyze team directly supported operations at two of six UAS test sites. Mission Insight was the only enterprise-level solution used that integrated all aspects of multiple flight operations into a single interface.

In June, Kevin and his Simulyze team successfully deployed Mission Insight in support of the first U.S. ship-to-shore drone delivery. Taking place on the New Jersey coastline, the event featured independent drone delivery service Flirtey and the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine demonstrating the potential use of UAVs to deliver medical supplies during a natural disaster or humanitarian crisis. The UAV flights were flown round-trip from a ship located about ½-mile offshore to the Cape May Ferry Terminal in North Cape May, N.J.
